What is the grammar related to "Some of you I've hit."?
I found the following sentence on a TV Series. The conversation occurs at a Karate class when a few students leave the class because the instructor has been hard on them. The thing that I cannot understand is the grammar of the last sentence. I mean I would be really grateful if someone could let me know how "some of you" and "I've hit" are connected. At first glance, it seems as though it is not grammatical for me. Therefore, I would be grateful if someone could let me know what are the grammar points associated with this sentence.
